Accommodation between Negreira and Olveiroa

[peregrina2000]

After reading a couple of recent posts, I've decided to walk Santiago-Muxia-Finisterre this year. I remember seeing what looked like a new private beyond Negreira, and at the time I thought it would be a good way to lengthen the first day and shorten some later days, but I can't remember where it was.

Especially now that I want to "turn right at Hospital," if I could find a place to stay beyond Negreira, I could then continue on Day 2 to the new albergue in Dumbria, with day 3 an easier 22 kms or so into Muxia.

Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks, Laurie

Laurie,

There is a new private albergue , O Rueieo, in Vilaserio. Here is their link http://www.gronze.com/albergues/camino-a-finisterre/albergue-o-rueiro-vilaserio.htm I stayed there last December. Very comfortable and clean with many blankets, but no heat! It is run by the only bar in the tiny town. It is much more comfortable than the old school near-by used as emergency facilities!

Buen Camino!

Hi Laurie,

As Margaret mentioned there is an hostal in Vilaserio. Although I stayed in the old school house (very basic with mats on the floor but with great hot showers) I had some lovely cheese and wine in the café that runs the auberge. The owner really did not understand why I didn't want to stay with them. The school house was even free as no one came to collect a cent!

Cheers,
LT

Hi Laurie,
You had better leave Santiago early mate and be in good shape.
Its doable as we found last year but most of those who had walked , and i smile had recently finished uni.
Plenty of places to get food on the way and Dumbria does not open till 3pm ?? from memory.
I think i know where you are heading but please have a stay with Lorena in Muxia [ Casa /Bar Lorena] even for one night, a beautiful place and beautiful lady.
If you have me walking into Segovia and then the next day much the same i think you should do this for penance.
Good luck with this and early departure.
David

Thanks for the help! Now I'll just wait and see how things go once I'm on the way. I will not take your comment as a challenge, Thornley, even though by the time I get to Santiago I will have just passed the 40th anniversation of my university graduation. All the more reason to forge on, don't want these old bones to get soft.

And believe me, those two days on the Camino de Madrid are quite beautiful, so I doubt you'll be feeling like you're suffering -- except perhaps for the last 5 kms or so into Segovia .

Buen camino, Laurie

Hi!
We just got back from Camino Fisterra-Muxia. On our way to Fisterra we stayed (second night) in Albergue Antelo at village Santa Martina. It´s a private albergue with 10 beds. Cost is 10€ for bed and 9€ for menu peregrino. If you start early next morning the dog will wake up anyone who is still sleeping

In a recent post ( which has seemed to disappear) I´v asked about La Peña and someone sent me a link with some informations on Vilaserio but I can´t find it.
Can someone help me? Why do posts disappear?
Thanks

Katia,

Here is the post I sent you.

There is a new private albergue , O Rueieo, in Vilaserio. Here is their link http://www.gronze.com/albergues/camino- ... aserio.htm I stayed there last December.

PS
Posts have disappeared because there has been a 'melt down' during a move to different equipment. All posts were recaptured as of mid April and not later.

In Negreira the Cafe Bar Imperial has a VERY good and copious menu del dia. Last December it was 8 euros. Here is their link http://www.barimperial.es/cms/. The friendly barman/owner is English and his wife Spanish. As usual at lunch I was the only other woman in the place, but they graciously made me feel at home.

Hóla Laurie,
I'm thinking of the same route as I have time for four days walking in early June. I've calculated Dumbria to Muxia as 19km but a few more isn't a problem. I was thinking of Santiago, Vilarserio, Dumbria and short walk to Muxia walking on to Fisterra on fourth day.
I'm also thinking about Dumbria back to option / turn right at Hospiital to Fisterra on third day and then Muxia.
As usual I won't pre-book anything.
Buen Camino,
Brian.

I agree completely with Margaret about Cafe Imperial.
It has had the best meal past Santiago now for 5 years.

Back room full of locals and very kind hosts.

Thanks Margaret
Vilaserio seems a good spot for me. I can't walk all the way to Negrreira and will not be in a hurry.
